Adonai Mitchell

PositiveRole25:12

Mitchell missed the recent game due to a finger injury. His continued absence would provide a boost in target volume for teammates like Kenyan Sadi and Garrett Wilson.

Insight page

Baker Mayfield

NegativeInjury7:00

Baker Mayfield is expected to miss approximately three weeks due to injury. While he was on pace for 74 sacks taken, the source notes he will not reach that mark due to his health status.

Insight page

Braelon Allen

PositiveSleeper23:39

Allen is a top waiver wire priority as the primary handcuff for Breece Hall. While he is expected to take the majority of the work, the source notes that a committee approach is possible if Isaiah Davis is active.

Insight page

Breece Hall

NegativeInjury22:59

Hall is dealing with a quad strain following a disappointing 13-carry, 32-yard performance. The source advises fantasy managers to prepare for a potential 3-week absence, with further updates expected by Wednesday.

Insight page

Caleb Douglas

NegativeInjury39:08

Caleb Douglas is dealing with an ankle sprain of uncertain severity, which has contributed to Chris Bell seeing an increased role.

Insight page

Cedric Tillman

NegativeProjection21:13

Cedric Tillman saw nine targets but only managed two catches for nine yards; the source believes his fantasy production will not improve until the Browns acquire a new quarterback.

Insight page

Chris Bell

PositiveBreakout38:57

Chris Bell is recommended as a waiver wire pickup after seeing a 73% route share. He is considered the most talented receiver on his team with deep-threat potential (13-yard aDOT) and could benefit from Malik Willis's high deep-ball rate (24.4%).

Insight page

Christian Watson

NegativeValue9:48

The source suggests trading away Christian Watson due to concerns regarding Jordan Love's health and the Packers' inability to keep him upright in the pocket. The extreme pressure Love is facing threatens the sustainability of the passing game and the team's overall offensive stability.

Insight page

Chuba Hubbard

PositiveUsage19:11

In his first full game without Jonathan Brooks, Chuba Hubbard recorded 19 carries for 82 yards and four targets, establishing himself as a valuable high-end RB2.

Insight page

D.J. Moore

PositiveUsage18:19

DJ Moore returned to action despite a shoulder injury, commanding 10 targets and recording six catches for 67 yards, leading the source to label him a great wide receiver two for fantasy lineups.

Insight page

Daniel Jones

NegativeProjection29:07

Daniel Jones is performing as a mid-tier fantasy option, lacking significant rushing upside or big-game potential following his Achilles injury.

Insight page

David Montgomery

NegativeUsage28:17

David Montgomery's backfield role is trending toward a 60/40 split with Woody Marks. The source notes that Montgomery does not look significantly better than his counterpart, casting doubt on his current usage and efficiency.

Insight page

David Njoku

PositiveUsage20:43

David Njoku had a boom game with nine targets, seven catches, 51 yards, and two touchdowns, though the source warns he remains a shaky every-week start due to the Browns' offensive limitations.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

NegativeUsage21:01

Denzel Boston recorded four targets and two catches for 41 yards, but the source notes that the low weekly floor of the Browns' offense makes him difficult to start with confidence.

Insight page

Deshaun Watson

NegativeProjection20:06

Deshaun Watson showed mobility and playmaking ability, but the source remains skeptical of his fantasy value, noting he averaged only 4.8 yards per attempt and remains under constant duress.

Insight page

Drake London

PositiveUsage8:38

Drake London had a massive performance with 194 yards on 10 targets and nine catches, dominating the team's target share while Michael Penix Jr. was on the field. The source notes that London's production is tied to Penix's presence, creating a 'fireworks show' when the quarterback is active.

Insight page

Drake Maye

NegativeProjection5:33

Drake Maye is on a poor statistical trajectory through three weeks, currently on pace for 3,300 passing yards, 6 passing touchdowns, and 34 interceptions.

Insight page

Garrett Wilson

PositiveInjury22:34

Wilson has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to be available for the next game. The source considers him a 'smash' play in favorable matchups, specifically highlighting the upcoming game against the Lions.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveBreakout5:53

Jahmyr Gibbs is on an elite, league-winning pace, projected for 470 touches, 2,600 total yards, 34 total touchdowns, and 568.4 PPR fantasy points. This trajectory would surpass LaDainian Tomlinson's 2006 record by nearly 100 points, cementing Gibbs as a game-changing focal point of the Lions' offense.

Insight page

Jalen Coker

NegativeInjury19:46

Jaylen Coker left the game with a quad injury; while the severity is currently unclear, the source advises fantasy managers to look for alternative wide receiver options for the upcoming week.

Insight page

James Cook

NegativeUsage18:06

James Cook is struggling to provide elite fantasy value because he is not catching passes, not hitting big plays, and is losing goal-line work to Josh Allen. Despite these concerns, the source advises managers to be happy with his consistent 20 fantasy points per game, noting he is attached to the best offense in the league.

Insight page

Jayden Reed

PositiveInjury11:16

Jayden Reed was not placed on IR, suggesting he may return to the field sooner than initially expected despite the severity of his injury.

Insight page

Jaylen Wright

PositiveBreakout32:05

Jaylen Wright was inactive due to a foot injury/stinger but is viewed as a fast, explosive player who offers more upside than Ali Gordon. He is considered a worthwhile waiver wire target for a lower-intensity bid, with the potential to reach low-end RB2 status if he consolidates backfield work once healthy.

Insight page

Jordan Love

NegativeInjury9:19

Jordan Love is under extreme pressure, having taken more hits and sacks over the first three games than any quarterback in the last 30 years. The source highlights that the brutal physical toll—including shots to his knees, legs, and ankles—creates significant injury risk and negatively impacts the fantasy outlook for the entire Packers offense.

Insight page

Josh Allen

PositiveProjection5:00

Josh Allen is on a massive statistical pace for 5,100 total yards, 62 total touchdowns, and 34 rushing touchdowns. Despite a knee tweak in the fourth quarter that caused a noticeable limp, medical consensus suggests he is 'hurt, not injured,' and he is expected to continue playing.

Insight page

Josh Downs

PositiveUsage29:38

Josh Downs is a high-floor target earner who saw a significant boost in the first game without Alec Pierce. He recorded 11 targets, a 29% target share, 60% of team air yards, and 100% of end zone targets. The team is actively scheming for him, evidenced by his 40% share of play-action targets and a 30% target per route run rate.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

NegativeValue9:52

The source anticipates a potential six-game suspension for Josh Jacobs due to ongoing legal issues. Even upon his return, the source expresses low confidence in his fantasy viability, citing the Packers' poor offensive line play as a major limiting factor for his production.

Insight page

Keenan Allen

NegativeUsage29:48

Keenan Allen remains involved with nine targets, six catches, 63 yards, and a touchdown, but his efficiency is a concern. He has a sub-70% catchable target rate despite a shallow 8-yard average depth of target.

Insight page

Kimani Vidal

NegativeProjection20:41

Kimani Vidal (also referred to as Omarian Hampton) is struggling to create on runs and often fails to take what is given, suggesting that the initial fantasy optimism surrounding his role in the Chargers' offense may be misplaced. He rarely gets creative on runs despite his bellcow size and draft capital.

Insight page

Kyle Pitts

NegativeProjection7:18

Kyle Pitts is having a disastrous season, currently on a 17-game pace of only 11 catches on 34 targets for 113 receiving yards.

Insight page

Malik Washington

PositiveValue40:21

Malik Washington is described as a high-floor player in his offense and is recommended as a player who should be owned in fantasy leagues.

Insight page

Mason Taylor

NegativeRole24:47

Taylor is currently dealing with a thumb/finger injury. His return could impact Kenyan Sadi's target share, as the two may return to a 50-50 split if Taylor's injury is not long-term.

Insight page

Matthew Golden

PositiveBreakout11:01

Matthew Golden is considered a 'boom hit' for fantasy managers, benefiting from a high volume of targets, downfield opportunities, and red-zone looks within the Packers' offense.

Insight page

Michael Penix Jr.

PositiveRole8:30

Michael Penix Jr. returned to the field and, despite a rusty start, finished strong. His presence on the field has notably unlocked a 'fireworks show' connection with Drake London.

Insight page

Nico Collins

NegativeInjury27:15

Nico Collins is a game-changer for the Texans, but his return for Week 4 is uncertain due to a midweek injury; the source plans to manage rosters as if he will be out. Despite the injury concern, the source remains a fan of the player, evidenced by their acquisition of a Nico Collins Kaboom sports card.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

PositiveProjection31:21

Rashee Rice had a strong bounce-back performance, recording seven catches for 88 yards.

Insight page

Travis Kelce

PositiveUsage31:25

Travis Kelce recorded another touchdown and is playing well in his current role, which allows him to take a backseat in the offense rather than being the sole playmaker.

Insight page

Tyjae Spears

NegativeInjury43:06

Tajae Spears suffered a recurring ankle injury. The severity, specifically whether it is a low or high ankle sprain, remains a concern for his availability.

Insight page

Tyler Warren

PositiveUsage29:45

Tyler Warren saw a notable increase in involvement, recording 10 targets in his latest game.

Insight page

Woody Marks

NegativeUsage28:19

Woody Marks is seeing a 35% snap share and scored a touchdown, though he is not heavily targeted in the passing game. He is currently splitting the backfield with David Montgomery in a roughly 60/40 arrangement.

0:04Morning friends and enemies. Actually, before we start, I got to make sure that the fan is on my camera so it doesn't
0:10shut off midway through because it should be heating up cuz we spitting super hot fire.
0:20We're literally back. Um, and yes, this is our Monday stream recapping every single game from yesterday that occurred in the NFL season. This is week three.
0:32It's in the books for the most part. We got a Monday Night Football of course tonight, but we will focus on this from
0:36a fantasy football standpoint. Okay?
0:38We'll be looking at the routes run. We will be looking at snap counts. We will be looking at everything and in between.
0:43And I will say what I do want to open up with is um some tweets I put out today.
0:50Uh just talking about pace because here's what I want to say. I think we might be witnessing shout out my goat.
0:56Uh I think we might be witnessing through three weeks the greatest start to a fantasy season of all time. And I
1:02don't mean like any specific players or obviously specific players that uh are contributing to this insane season, but collectively there are so many players
1:12that are on pace for all time years.
1:16This is something that we do in the office. We play a lot of NFL trivia, right? And we do fantasy drafts and not
1:21the way that you guys probably do fantasy drafts, but if you've watched our trivia channel, you know what I'm talking about. Basically, it'll be like
1:26a battle, me versus someone versus someone else. And you know, we are in the quarterback row and we each get a
1:33prompt. So it'll be like a quarterback that went to an SEC school, right? And we all know like that already triggers
1:40in my brain. Payton Manning 2013. You got to pick a player. You got to pick a specific year and you get the fantasy
1:45points for that specific year. I already know Pton Manning 2013 43 fantasy points I believe that year. So I have a lot of
1:51these years memorized. So I know some of the greatest fantasy seasons of all time. It's become muscle memory. I'm looking through some of the players so
1:57far this year and they are on pace to just obliterate most of the best fantasy seasons of all time. There are very few
2:05skill players who have crossed over 400 in fantasy points 400 fantasy points in a season in PPR settings. Now, I don't
2:13have them up right now. You are seeing my entirety of the screen right now. I'm going to try my best to uh to give those
2:18to you. There haven't been a lot of quarterbacks. There's been Lamar.
2:22There's been Payton Manning. There's been Patrick Mahomes, there's been Josh Allen, and I want to say Cam was at like 395, 397. Skill players, CMAC, of
2:34course, Leenian Tomlinson has the greatest fantasy season of all time back in 2006. There's Stephen Jackson, there's David Johnson, there's Marshall
2:43Faulk, of course, there's Priest Holmes.
2:46I'm probably forgetting a few obviously, but like the Chris Johnson's, the Arian Fosters of the world got to around 390ish.
2:52Cooper Cup of course and Jerry Rice are both on there, as well as EMTT Smith.
2:56And that might be for the most part, I might have missed like one or two players, but that is pretty much like
3:00the list of players who have 400 fantasy points in a season. Now, you know, it's fun to look at pace. It's fun to look at
3:06what's happening so far in the NFL through three weeks. Yes, I have a uh puppy, if you didn't see the first
3:11couple weeks, and he is ruining my life.
3:13I actually have him in the crate right now. So, if you hear if you hear a dog being slaughtered in the background,
3:19he's so [ __ ] dramatic. Uh, that would be him. He's literally in great care.
3:24I'm taking great care of him. He's nice and comfy in there. And I know I didn't put bedding in there because he'll pee
3:28on it, but he's got toys. He's got treats. Got whatever he needs back there. He just likes to cry. Papa ain't
3:33there. Uh, Drake May, this is his current pace. This one actually went viral today. 17,000 likes. So, if you're not following me on Twitter, go do so.
3:41Nick Erkolano. Uh Drake May currently on pace four, 3,300 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, and 34 interceptions. Not great. Um but let's
3:50talk about the paces I was talking about. So Jir Gibbs currently on pace for 470 touches, 2600 total yards from
3:59scrimmage, 34 total touchdowns, and 568.4 PPR fantasy points. Like I said, the single greatest fantasy season all time
4:09was Leenian Tomlinson in 2006. He had 475 depending on what platform you're looking at if they count fumbles etc.
4:17around that many points in PPR to give you a relative pace. Jir Gibbs is on pace to beat that by nearly 100 points.
4:24And do you know who's on pace to beat that by more than 100 points? Jackson Smith and Jigba. He's on pace
4:31for 204 targets, 153 receptions, 2300 receiving yards, 34 touchdowns, 586.5 PPR fantasy points. And it started it's
4:42it's crazy because if you have these guys like I have Jackson Smith and Jigba and I have um Josh Allen and your idiot
4:49league mates and having them I'm starting to take it for granted. I'm like of course every single time the Seahawks get inside the 10 yard line
4:55here comes a Jackson Smith and Jigba touchdown. How [ __ ] dare they not you know? And here are some other paces just
5:00for quarterbacks. Josh Allen on pace for nope. We just can't be facetiming me right now. uh on pace for 5,100 total
5:07yards, 62 total touchdowns, 34 rushing touchdowns. That um actually just got to check to make sure we are okay. Why can't I hear this dude? No. Tell me we
5:18haven't been [ __ ] muted this whole time. Up the mic. Okay. Sorry. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear
5:23me? Road A1, can you hear me? Are we louder? Check. Check. Check. Check.
5:28Check. Check.
5:34Can y'all hear me now? No, I do not read the chat on Monday.
5:40Can y'all hear me? Can y'all hear me?
5:42Check. Check. Check. Check. Any better?
5:43Any better?
5:47Somebody answer me, please.
5:49Why is this so low? I turned the gain up.
5:53Check. Check. Check. Check. All right.
5:55Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Um, can you uh have you guys heard what the I've been saying this whole time? I
6:03just went on a tear, man. I just went on a [ __ ] tear. All right, we'll keep the volume here. Uh Josh Allen,
6:11yes. 62 total touchdowns.
6:1562 total touchdowns. 34 of them rushing touchdowns. Bryce Young on pace for 5,300 passing yards. Tyler Shuck on pace for 5200 passing yards on 748 attempts.
6:26I actually don't know the record off top of my head, but I'd imagine that is very close to it. But I think Tom Brady maybe
6:31in like 21 with one of the Bucks years had around 700 something. Uh so that I believe was the record. But this got to
6:39be damn close. Perie on pace for 51 passing touchdowns, zero sacks. Brother has not taken a sack yet this year. Kirk
6:4751 passing touchdowns. The bad already talked about Drake May and his lines 34 interceptions. Not good. Tyler Shuck somehow on pace for [ __ ] 28 fumbles
6:56and 17 fumbles lost. Herbert on pace for 23 interceptions and 17 fumbles. Has not lost one yet thus far. Baker Mayfield
7:03obviously not going to hit this because he's going to be injured for the next, you know, three weeks or so. 74 sacks
7:08taken. The record all time was 76.
7:12So, you know, it's just fun to look at pacing, man. And let's look at one more for you [ __ ] morons who drafted him.
7:18Kyle Pitts a 17game pace, 11 catches on 34 targets and 113 receiving yards.
7:26That's like a standard Trey McBride day.
7:30That's a standard [ __ ] Brock Bowers game.
7:35You are getting paced out with Kyle Pittz over his whole year. You [ __ ] bots that drafted him.
7:44All right, let's get into the actual recaps. Uh should note tonight, uh Joe versus JO, there's a sweat in your idiot
7:50league mates. We will be live streaming.
7:53uh I don't know for how long in the game or who's going to be popping in and out, but if you've been following your idiot
7:57league mates, the in office league, which I'm [ __ ] dominating right now, uh will be live kind of catching the
8:02game, sweating it out. I believe Joe needs like 23 from Dvont Smith to beat J Mo. JMO's own two. This is a huge huge
8:09huge win for him. Um so if you want to follow the Your Idiot League channel, just search your Idiot League mates on
8:16YouTube. Can't be that hard to find. We will be live on there around 8:00 p.m.
8:20tonight before Eastern time before Monday Night Football kicks off. But we want to talk about prime time games and prime time ass whoopings. The Falcons.
8:29Something special might be brewing here.
8:30We beat the Packers 35-14 on Thursday night football. Michael Pennix obviously makes his return. Very rusty start, but ended up finishing very strong.
8:38Obviously, all the splits with Drake London just came to fruition here. 194 yards, 10 targets, nine catches. No other player has more than three
8:47targets. It's just the Drake London fireworks show when Pennix is on the field. Honestly, thought it would take a second for Penn to settle in and it did
8:53for by most accounts, but the the the London and Penn share is just insane.
8:59Bean's playing out of his [ __ ] mind, just entering his prime. On the flip side though, the Packers def the
9:04everything about the Packers is actually embarrassing. Their offensive line worse than the NFL. Their defense is really, really bad right now. So, uh, I think
9:12most teams are probably going to end up beating up on, um, on the Packers. It's really fun for right now, but Jordan
9:19Love is getting manhandled in the pocket. He is taking I saw a tweet that I couldn't find, but it was something
9:25along the lines of like through the first three games, Jordan Love has taken more hits uh, plus sacks of any quarterback since some egregious year.
9:36It was like legit 30 years over the last 30 years. and the cutup, the video of him just taking shots to his knee and
9:43his legs and his ankles and stuff. It's brutal. It like made me want to trade off of Christian Watson because I don't
9:48know how much longer Jordan Love has in that pocket, man. It is It's really bad.
9:52The running back situation, obviously, you can't start any of these guys. My read on the Jacobs situation, I still think he's going to be out of max six
9:59games. I think we hear something about Jacobs' legal situation within the next like couple weeks, and I think they'll probably suspend him for six games. And
10:06with that, that will count the first six games of the season. So, we're already in week four. The bigger question is
10:10whether or not he's going to be able to have any success behind this offensive line. And I'd be lying if I said I was
10:15confident. Obviously, you know, getting all the touches and trying to have the the run game go through him will will be
10:21better for him than it would this mix of Marshon Lloyd and Caleb Johnson, whatever slot they have in that back field. But, hard to say I'm like overly
10:28optimistic about Jacob's returning to this backfield because of how bad the offensive line is. So, you know, maybe if you're a Jacobs owner, I you know,
10:38listen, if he's going to end up being like your flex play, I don't mind holding on to him. I would say I think
10:42there will probably be a window. If we get news over the next couple weeks where it's like Jacobs has a fivegame
10:47suspension or a six game suspension and it's like, you know, he's coming back within a week or two. If you want to try
10:51to sell into that window, would not blame you at all based on what the Packers look like right now cuz that
10:56offensive line ain't going anywhere and it's going to cause problems for the remainder of the year. Really fun offense though if you've got the
11:01receivers. Matthew Golden and Christian Watson are absolutely boom hits if you drafted them. They are getting an unbelievable amount of targets. They're
11:09getting shots downfield. They're getting shots into the end zone. Like it's great. You have Jaden Reed who actually was not placed on the IR. So there's a
11:16chance he comes back a lot earlier than most people expected given how severe the injury actually looked to him. Um, that being said though, even before it
11:25still felt like it was a lot of the Golden and Christian Watson show because they were the ones lining up in two wide
11:30receiver sets. So, uh, you know, Sky Moore played Tucker Craft. Tucker Craft obviously doesn't look like himself. I still think it's going to take a few
11:36weeks for him to get his legs under him.
11:38And, you know, tell me your tight end gets eight targets. Don't hate it, but again, the offensive line is definitely just a large problem here. So, it's
11:45going to tank a lot of the weapons outside of Golden and Christian Watson right now.
11:53There was a ton of injuries and stuff that happened this week, so I apologize if I miss any of them or just like say
11:58some dumb [ __ ] on this uh stream. I I am trying very hard to focus, but you know, I'll I'll keep saying this for a couple
12:05weeks probably. But but having the puppy and raising him on my own right now is it's very very tough to get like solid
12:12deep focused work for hours at a time.
12:14And you know, I'm probably not bringing my best stuff. No, I'm trying. I'm trying my best here, but I probably will
12:19miss out on some [ __ ] that like I I um you know, normally would not miss out on. Chargers, another embarrassing loss.
12:28They move to 0 and3. The Bills moved to 3 and 0, beating them 24-6 in Buffalo.
12:34Herbert just another dreadful performance. Um the offense for the Chargers just it's as bad as it gets.
12:41And I think the conversation for Omari and Hampton probably needs to be had. I would say like I'm not going to pretend
12:47I'm not going to sit here and pretend that you know to be on a high horse of like I didn't like Omarian Hampton. I
12:51thought he was a super fine pick this year for fantasy mainly because of the situation. He wasn't necessarily a guy that I was in love with coming out. But
12:59like I've learned being in this industry for a long time, your opinions on a guy's like prospect outlook in terms of
13:06what he's going to be at the NFL level should be a far inferior uh intensity of opinion relative to like draft capital.
13:16Uh especially it's like okay if I thought Amari Hampton was like a second round talent or like a third round talent or something like that he gets
13:22picked in the first round that's going to supersede whether or not I thought he was like not explosive enough explosive enough or whatever. But I remember
13:30watching Hampton in school and I was like okay big back got the bellcow size does have explosiveness but I remember like I remember writing this
13:38specifically down. I was like I I almost never see him get creative on runs. He's very very rarely just not given or not
13:46taking what's given for him. And I think you're starting to see that play out and that could work. Like I think most
13:50people buying into the Omar and Hampton stock this summer did it with I think the right process being like okay the
13:56Chargers offense should be really good.
13:57Their offensive line should be much healthier and that should open up a lot of lanes and like you get a guy who's
14:02good enough at the running back position. Omar Hampton listen first round draft capital bellcow size can do it all. without a doubt clears the bar
14:08for like good enough to be put into a good sit situation to kind of just roll into a good year. Unfortunately, the
14:14Chargers thing is just absolutely, you know, blown smoke up everybody's ass. Uh I think there's a lot of blame to go
14:21around. Herbert looks [ __ ] horrendous. I don't think there's a lot of playmakers on the offensive side of things right now. They've obviously got
14:26injuries to uh their tight ends as well as Tyler Bottes who is like one of their big offseason signings at the center
14:32position. Uh Mike McDaniels. I, you know, I' I've been saying this for a couple years, but I thought like his scheme was just figured out in Miami.
14:40Literally, all they had to do was throw two safeties over the top and they were unable to throw the ball deep and that
14:45just kind of ruined everything and everything was just forced to be little dump offs to Han, little dump offs to Tyreek Hill and little dump offs to
14:51Waddle and like, you know, I I don't know that's what's happening here, but I could definitely see that this might be
14:57what's played out. And to be honest with you, if this continues, I wouldn't be surprised if Mike McDaniels if they part
15:01ways with him at some point in the season. And they're not going to do it this early obviously, but if it still
15:06looks the way it looks right now, they have, you know, everyone knows this.
15:08They have a blood bath of a schedule coming up. If it still looks the same way in 6 weeks that it does right now,
15:15you know, I I I think that they went on I'm not going to say they went out on a limb, but like the style of offense he
15:20plays is so different and progressive relative to other offensive coordinators that they might feel it better to say like, "Hey, let's tone it down a little
15:28bit. This is like too much. We we stray too far from like what we want to do and just let [ __ ] Adam Gase rip it from
15:34internal. That would be uh that would actually be maybe a top three tweet from Adam Shfter of all time if one day we
15:43woke up and it's like Mike McDaniels is relieved of his duties. Adam Gase will be the play caller going forward. I
15:49don't know that you like a movie could be written with a better script than what would happen on Twitter following that exact tweet in those exact words.
15:57That would be one of my favorite days on the internet, I think. Um, but yeah, man. I mean, lad 4 for 66. Quentyn
16:04Johnson obviously just not doing anything for your team. Arande Gatson should have had a great uh run out here with no Charlie Kolar. You got David and
16:12Jooku on the IR. And let's take a look at the snap counts and everything to make sure that, you know, we're not
16:17overlooking anything when it comes to Gatson.
16:2274% of the routes. So, I I do think there are better days ahead in terms of target share for him. Uh, but just how
16:29clunky the Chargers look and what their schedule is like upcoming, hard to trust him. I would definitely hold on to him
16:35though because he's in uh an enviable position, I would say, for a starting tight end. Uh, Keith Mitchell a little bit more involved, but like people are,
16:43you know, you can't look at a oneame yards per carry sample size and uh a receiving touchdown sample size when he
16:48has negative five yards receiving. So, not going over the top on that. On the flip side, Josh Allen has a clunker of a
16:54day, but still comes through in fantasy obviously because he got two rushing touchdowns. James Cook has like backtoback two of the like worst elite
17:03fantasy days ever. It's like he just like kind of chunks up 10 yard gain after 10 yard gain after 10 yard gain
17:09and you're like three and a half quarters into it and you're like, damn, he's got like 11 fantasy points because every time they get to the one or two
17:15yard line, it's Josh Allen. But in both weeks, he ends up coming through with a goal line score, goes for 154 yards.
17:21problem is he's not catching any passes.
17:22He's not really exploding for any big plays and he's not getting the goal line work. So, uh that being said, Buffalo
17:27looks unstoppable right now. Uh should be noted Josh Allen did like tweak his knee a little bit in the fourth quarter.
17:33finished the game, was walking around with a noticeable limp, but from all the uh statuses I've gathered and and docks that I've uh you know allowed to
17:44penetrate my ear holes, pause, resume, they're all for the most part looking at this as more hurt than injured. So, hurt, but not going to be actually
17:53injured. It's possible that something comes out today that there was like an MCL tweak or something like that, and you know, you guys will see it after.
18:00Um, but I wouldn't be overly concerned if I had Josh Allen right now. They all seem to think he's going to play. James
18:07Cook, guys, you just be happy with 20 fantasy points per game. He's going to keep doing it. He's just attached to the
18:13best offense. And yes, it's not always going to look pretty because Josh Allen's going to take a lot of rushing scores, but just be happy. Uh DJ Moore
18:20came back, played with the shoulder injury, 10 targets, six catches, 67 yards. I think is a a great wide receiver, too, for you. Don Kade had a
18:28bit of a down game. um that's fine.
18:30He'll be fine. It was just it was just a random like Josh Allen clinker of a game, man. Um and still ended up pulling
18:35through and getting the the dub and getting you an okay fantasy day. So, you know, obviously better days ahead for Josh Allen.
18:41Moving to the Browns and the Panthers.
18:44My goodness, man. Um Bryce Young, another 48 attempts in this one. He's on pace to throw so many passes. You know, we started off the
18:55stream talking about his 17game pace.
18:57He's on pace for 5,300 passing yards, which just does not even seem like I don't know. It's incomprehensible to the human brain that that could it's not
19:06going to be the outcome. Obviously, it's all going to all all those numbers are going to come down to to normalize, but
19:11directionally like this offense is putting their trust into Bryce Young here. Um, obviously into Chuba Hubard as well, 19 for 82, first full game without
19:21Jonathan Brooks. He also sees four targets. So, he's going to be a very very valuable high-end RB2. Obviously, I think his ceiling games will come in
19:28games where Carolina is uh, you know, able to kind of like win the game script a little bit here, but it was a little
19:34bit sloppy. Browns, Panthers, Browns end up getting the win and moving to two and one, which is crazy. JC Horn, their top
19:39quarterback is going to be on the IR uh for Carolina. So, their defense, not good. Just got a lot worse there. Uh, in
19:46terms of Tet, poor poor game. Jaylen Coker ended up leaving this game with a quad injury. I'm not really sure the
19:52severity right now. I don't think it's supposed to be overly serious here, but keep an eye on reports. Obviously, if you have Jaylen Coker, I would uh think
19:59about, you know, starting to make moves to see if you need another wide receiver going into next week. On the Brown side
20:06of things, listen, Deshawn got the win, got another win. We're we're not going to sit here and say he looked good. He
20:12looked good running the ball. He looked mobile. He looked flexible. He he looked like a playmaker, but he still averaged 4.8 yards per attempt. He's under duress
20:20every single time he drops back. And because he has mobility, he can escape some of these plays and make big plays.
20:26But like, let's not confuse what's going on here. Uh Judkins 18 for 70. Feels like it's the best game you're going to
20:32get out of him, unfortunately. Uh cuz you know, recent weeks it was like 14 for [ __ ] 30. So, he's got some
20:39yardage here, but hard to be excited at all about him. Fannon finally gets home.
20:44Nine targets, seven catches of 51 yards, and two touchdowns. still a little bit shaky to rely on him as an every week
20:49tight end. I do have him as my guy and you're a league mate. So, it was obviously great to see him have like a
20:53boom game, but as always when you're attached to this offense, Deshawn Watson literally threw for 144 yards. So, Denzel Boston, good to see him get, you
21:01know, I guess four more targets, two catches for 41 yards, but for every spike game and boom game that you might
21:07have in this offense, the the weekly floor for these guys makes them so hard to actually start in your lineups with
21:13confidence. Casey Conpsion. Man, I I just think we're going to have to wait for a new quarterback for this to for
21:19this to really happen for him. Nine targets in this one. Two catches for nine yards. Not great for the perogi program. Moving to the Lions at the Jets
21:29here. So, the Lions win 3124. Gino 31 for 37, 321 passing yards, three touchdowns. Lesson here as always, weekly drink, rinse, repeat. Play
21:40quarterbacks against the Detroit Lions.
21:42They don't have a secondary right now.
21:43And still, you know, for week number four, they will be without Brian Branch.
21:47They will be without Kirby Joseph, and they just don't have Taran Arnold anymore. So, they're going to be down their secondary all the time. Uh,
21:54running backs, we have some injuries in this game that need to be talked about, obviously. First, let's start with Garrett Wilson. The good news, got
22:00smooshed.
22:02He became the peanut butter and jelly inside of a sandwich. Uh, luckily, he came away unscathed. They checked him for concussion. He cleared protocol, so
22:09he should be good to go for next week.
22:11Garrett's playing great. Obviously, in these types of matchups when you're getting the Lions, like he's going to be a smash for you. Uh the concerning
22:19injury here is Bruce Hall. So, Bree Hall 13 for 32. Really disappointing day on the ground. He ends up pulling up limp
22:26or short, sorry, short on a run uh on a run towards the outside. You could see him grab his quad almost immediately.
22:33So, it sounds like he's got a quad strain and it sounds like he's probably going to be out, you know, next week if
22:39not multiple weeks. Brillin Allen obviously becomes the handcuff. I believe Isaiah Davis has been inactive, just a healthy scratch if I'm not wrong,
22:47if I'm not mistaken. Uh, which is a little bit surprising given how involved he was in the offense last year. Not
22:52that it was an offense to [ __ ] ride home about or anything, but uh I I don't think it's an injury related thing. I I
22:59genuinely think they just have him as a healthy scratch. Could be wrong there.
23:01So, if someone wants to correct me on that, with Bree out, Brilon's obviously going to take the majority of work. But
23:07if Isaiah Davis is healthy, I would be surprised if this is not some sort of a committee. Allen's obviously the one you
23:13want. We don't know the severity of Bree Hall's injury. If it's a grade two, it's going to be much more severe, somewhere
23:18in like the 3 to six week range. If it's a grade one, probably misses next week.
23:22You know, 50/50 for week two. Could be back week three kind of thing. Um, let me actually I'll just look at Twitter
23:28right now and see if we have any update on Bree Hall in real time while we're all chilling here.
23:36The Jets won't have an update on Breeze Hall until Wednesday. Okay.
23:49Concern for grade two quad strain. Yeah, we we just won't know until Wednesday, unfortunately. But if you're a Bree Hall owner, obviously, you know, prepare for
23:57the worst, hope for the best. I I would prepare for like a a 3-week absence. If IMU, Brailin Allen becomes one of the
24:04top waiverwire pickups of the week along with another New York Jet. And again, I think it's I think it's important to
24:10take a step back and be like, yo, how many New York Jets do I want on my offense? Again, they're playing against
24:15the literal worst pass defense in the NFL, the Detroit Lions. Kenyan Sadi looks awesome, though. I mean, Jets fans, you got to hit on your hands for
24:22sure. Unbelievable athlete, awesome playmaker. Kenyan Sadik goes seven for 105, a touchdown on eight targets. They could just use him everywhere. He is so
24:31dynamic and so athletic. How consistent is he going to be on a week- toeek basis? In games where Gino throws for
24:36200 yards and they score 17 points as a team, his floor is going to be very low.
24:41So, I don't know that he's a consistent starter for you yet. And a lot of this, in my opinion, will depend on whether or
24:47not Mason Taylor is a long-term injury.
24:50He injured his thumb. So, he was inactive for this one. Um, I think it was his thumb. It was a finger,
24:54whatever. And he was inactive for this one. I don't know if it's a long-term injury. He was not placed on IR to my
25:00knowledge. So, Sadique could get right back to being like in a 50-50 split with Mason Taylor. Obviously, he has a lot
25:06more upside. Obviously, if Taylor's out for long term, Sadique could be a really interesting guy. Should also note that Adai Mitchell also with a hand finger
25:14injury missed this game. That one also I don't believe is expected to be a long-term injury. I think he was like
25:20kind of 50/50 for this game. But if he misses extended time, obviously that's a boost up for a guy like Sadique, more
25:25targets for a guy like Wilson. But all that played a factor into like again, let's not get over our skis about Jets
25:31pass catchers because of a oneame sample size without their wide receiver two against the worst secondary in the NFL.
25:37But Brillin Allen pickup obviously Sadique pickup.
25:41Detroit golf 269, two touchdowns kind of par for the course. We already talked about Gibbs. He is a league winner, game
25:47changer type of dude. Aman Ross Brown down uh down game 419 and a touchdown.
25:53So he does kind of salvage a little bit going forward uh with the touchdown score, but yeah, you wish you got some
25:58more out of the the Lions in a game.
25:59They scored 31 points uh and had the New York Jets on their schedule.
26:04Unfortunately, just did not work out that way. Yeah, Jameson Williams is kind of uh rounding out to be one of the I
26:10won't say one of the bigger busts because it's not like you had to take him in round three or anything like
26:13that, but definitely one of the more disappointing fantasy picks because as I've been saying week after week after week in games where Sam Laaporta plays,
26:20he just does not really have that many big games. He's just not a huge part of the game plan. I will also say their
26:26entirety of their offense is just Gibbs, man. They don't they don't look as fluid and they don't they definitely don't look as good as Lions offenses in
26:35previous years. Um is it a Drew Pensing thing? Is it an offensive line issue?
26:39Not exactly sure where to look this this early into the season. But it's really like Jir Gibbs get this [ __ ] done or
26:45we're going to struggle as an offense.
26:47So there's not as much fluidity to their offense right now. Things can obviously change but yeah I mean a little bit
26:53spooky for for JOS and just phenomenal for Gibbs owners.
26:57>> [snorts] >> Speaking of spooky, the Texans moved to 0 and3 with the Colts beating them 19 to 17, moving to one and
27:07two. CJ Shroud, I mean, listen, overall the Houston Texans offense looks horrendous. I think a lot of that just has to do with the amount of injuries
27:14they have at the wide receiver position.
27:15Like, Nico is such a game changer. It's so easy to game plan against a group of Xavier Hutchinson and uh Kahan
27:23Bout and and those types of guys. So, I'm hopeful Nico returns in week four, but I would say it's far from a sure
27:29thing. Um, mainly because the injury occurred midweek, so it was a Wednesday when the injury occurred. So, he's, you know, he'll be two and a half weeks out
27:37and normally those things are like two to three week recovery timelines. I I'm a little bit nervous the Texans are going to push it because they're 0 and
27:43three. And, you know, the reinjury risk if if you get back on there before you're ready, not great. And it's not
27:48like Nico has gotten back to a limited practice. So, obviously the practice reports will be huge. If he is limited on Wednesday, it does look like he'll
27:54definitely be in line to play in week four, but I don't I definitely don't think it's a sure thing that Nico is
28:00back for week four.
28:03So, again, I have him in my big league.
28:07I will be maneuvering this week as if I'm planning to be without him.
28:12Definitely definitely could play, but I I definitely don't think he's out of the woods yet. Backfield's a [ __ ] mess.
28:17Uh David Montgomery 11 for 33. Woody Marks 5 for 15. He just happened to be kind of like on the field for the drive
28:22where they got to the um got to the goal line, ends up scoring the touchdown here. Not very heavily targeted in the
28:29passing game, but we should just look at the backfield splits here because it's not great for David Montgomery. That that week one, man, y'all cherish that
28:35if you were a uh if you're a David Montgomery owner. But we do see the splits a little bit more in favor of
28:40Deont here. 65% of the snaps, a 35 for Woody Marks. Gets most of the rushing attempts. also runs a lot more routes
28:46than uh Woody Marx does, which is a little bit surprising here. But, you know, I I think genu generally what we've seen so far is like, you know,
28:55it's like 6040 for the most part in favor of David Montgomery in a neutral perfect world game script, which is kind
29:00of what we got here. Uh, but I I don't know that David Montgomery actually looks much better than uh Woody Marks
29:07does. So, take that as you will. Colt side of things, yeah, Daniel Jones, he's just fine. He's just like I I feel like
29:15this is kind of what we expected him to be for the Colts like last year and he obviously played out of his mind. Um and
29:21that has kind of become what he is right now coming off of the Achilles tear.
29:25He's not really running much. He's uh not having big upside days. Obviously the pass catching group is a lot worse than it was last year with Alec Pierce
29:32out and no Michael Pitman, but still needs to be noted. Uh another 25 touches for Jonathan Taylor. No concern there.
29:38Receivers Josh DS started out the gate like super hot. five for 77, 11 targets here. Tyler Warren, good to see him get
29:4510 targets in this one. Um, but Keenan Allen did get involved, man. Nine targets, six catches, 63 yards, and a touchdown here. So, he could be a little
29:53bit annoying. And this was the game against the Texans. So, to see um Downsis involved did feel good, though.
29:59So, without Alec Pierce out, it does feel like Josh Downs will see a significant target floor. This is another one I was like a little bit
30:05worried about downs where it's like he would get so much attention from a really high-end uh defense, but it didn't really matter. Target per out run
30:13rate of 30%, a 29% target share, 60% catchable target rate, really low.
30:21Not good for Keenan either. 67% catchable target rate on an A dot. Like that's understandable if your A dot is 15 yards downfield. you know, you're
30:28going to get less accurate targets obviously, but if you are eight yards past line of scrimmage and your catchable target rate is sub 70%. That's
30:37not great. But really good to see very strong numbers from Josh Downs in the first game without Alec Pierce. 29% of
30:43the targets, 60% of the team's air yards, [clears throat] excuse me, 100% of the team's end zone targets, and 40% of the play action targets, which is
30:51typically like a first read type of play, which means they're probably scheming them up a little bit for him.
30:56Uh any injuries in this one of note?
31:00Don't think so.
31:02We can move to the Chiefs and the Dolphins. I mean, not totally unexpected. The the Dolphins hung around this game for a long time. Uh Mahomes,
31:09you know, typical day at the office, 250 and two touchdowns. Kenneth Walker gets in with uh with his two touchdowns, another 20 touches. So, he is, you know,
31:16the GOAT. Still wish I [ __ ] was able to draft him in more leagues.
31:21Rashi Rice, a strong bounceback day, seven for 88. Kelsey gets in with another touchdown. he uh you know, not high volume, but he looks really really
31:27good for what this offense needs right now. Him being able to take like a back seat and not being like an immediate
31:33must need playmaker like makes Kelsey so much better. Um but yeah, it's a very centralized offense. Obviously, on the flip side of
31:43things, of course, the story of the day is that Devonte Hen suffered a torn ACL.
31:47So, RIP to one of the more fun players in the entire uh league. he's going to be out for the remainder of the year, of
31:55course, and what that means for the backfield is tough to say. So, here's my read on the situation. We had Ali Gordon
32:03step in for him, of course, because Jaylen Wright was not active for this game. Now, Ali Gordon stepped in and he
32:09averaged 2.4 yards per carry, but I thought he looked relatively good for what the situation was, for being in Miami's offense, for playing against a
32:17Kansas City Chiefs defense. Uh, scores a touchdown. You know, all things considered, I thought he looked good. 17 carries, like very involved in the
32:25offense. Also got three uh three targets, three catches. So, you're looking at a 20 touch game here. Jaylen Wright was inactive in this one. He was limited
32:34on Wednesday, limited on Thursday, and then a DMP on Friday. He's dealing with some sort of apparently minor foot injury slash stinger. Um I was trying to
32:45find more details on it, and I really couldn't. It happened in week two. I couldn't really find much on his injury.
32:51Uh I follow a few beat reporters out of Miami and the best I can get was Joe Shad who follows who is a beat reporter
32:57for Miami. He made it seem like Jaylen Wright's going to be very involved in this offense. So it didn't seem by his
33:01tone and his temper that Jaylen Wright was going to be out more than week three. But that's something to keep an
33:08eye on because anytime again like you get practice practice and then Friday all of a sudden you're a DNP that signals to me some sort of you know
33:17reinjury or reagravation of the injury or something. So something to keep a close eye on. I think if they're both healthy we're going to get a split. I
33:25don't think we're getting Ali Gordon for 20 touches a game. Ali Gordon's much more of a bruiser back. He'll probably be the goal lineback. Jaylen Wright a
33:32lot more explosive and he was the guy like next up throughout the preseason.
33:36and I think he was probably running as the RB2 in the early stages of this season. Although it was really all Devon
33:40Achan, Jaylen Wright is a very explosive player. So, the two are like a pretty good fit in terms of opposites of each
33:46other. They're like actually David Montgomery and Woody Woody Marks is probably not a good uh comparison, but like Ali Gordon is David Montgomery.
33:54Maybe maybe them still not a good comparison. I was going to say Jir Gibbs for Jaylen Wright.
33:59Jaylen Wright is a dude who's like uh very fast, very explosive.
34:03Pretty poor p uh vision though. I remember watching him at Tennessee. The dude loved to bounce things outside because he's so explosive and he's an
34:08athlete. So, we'll see. I think the biggest issue here is uh Miami just sucks. Like, if Devon Achan can't do anything in this offense, it's hard to
34:16see one of these guys be big-time playmakers for your fantasy team, even though you get one of them for the entirety of the year. So, you know,
34:25Gordon getting 20 touches out of the gate does make you want to lean that way, but that's not going to be the case
34:32going forward. And this is a very, very poor offense right now. So, I am hesitant to be like, "Yeah, I really
34:39like one or the other." If I, you know, you put a gun to my head right now, what I'd likely do, I probably wouldn't be
34:45the guy picking up Ali Gordon for what you're going to have to pay for him. And I would put a less intense bid on Jaylen
34:51Wright and hope that I get him. So, I think it's going to be some sort of a split. And I think Jaylen Wright
34:56probably offers more upside and explosiveness, but I don't think either of them are going to be that good if they're in some sort of committee. If
35:02Jaylen Wright does end up being hurt, like more severely hurt and is out for an extended period of time, uh then
35:08yeah, you could definitely do worse than a dude who's going to get like 18 to 20 touches, even if it's in a bad offense,
35:12even if his touchdown line is probably going to be unfavorable week in and week out. Anytime one running back or one
35:17backfield can consolidate that much work, you probably have at worst like a low-end RB2 on your hands. And that to me is worth a pretty uh significant fab
35:25bid, especially with the amount of injuries that are occurring throughout the NFL right now. So, that's kind of my early take on it. Uh, as always, we'll
35:31have a Waverwire show up tomorrow to go a little bit more in depth on what's going to happen in Miami there. One
35:37other Waverwire guy to look at, Chris Bell, a dude that I've talked about a pretty good amount so far in this
35:42channel, you know, throughout the summer and then into the early season. First game without the other wide receiver, Caleb Douglas, uh, the other rookie
35:48who's making a lot of plays. He has an ankle sprain. Severity of when he's going to return, still kind of up in the
35:54air. Chris Bell has been returning from his ACL tear. Hasn't played that many snaps up to this point. And I'm actually
35:58curious to see how many ended up playing in this one. Kind of probably pushed into a more severe role because of the
36:03injuries here. Chris Bell. Love to see that. Jumps up to a 73% uh route share here. Doesn't see a huge target percentage, but the A dot's
36:12really good. 13 yards downfield. Seeing a decent amount of air yards. Guess that's not great, but he's probably the most talented receiver that they have.
36:19So, right now, I think he's definitely someone that you want to grab on your waiver wire and kind of see what
36:24progresses from here. And I tweeted this out as well.
36:28something randomly just like I was doing uh pace tweets and I was like [ __ ] it let's just talk about Malik Willis for
36:34no reason. It's like the meme where it's like no one Nick uh Malik Willis has attempted the most deep balls in the NFL through three
36:42weeks. So 21 of his passes are considered deep balls despite ranking 20th in pass attempts overall. So his deep throw rate meaning just the
36:50percentage of his overall throws that were marked as deep passes 24.4%.
36:56So typically on a given year the NFL leader is around like 15 15 12% on a high year in terms of the amount of
37:04percentage of their throws that are deep passes and then last year small sample size from Malik that was up at 22.9%. So
37:10he throws the ball deep a lot. It's kind of just a player he is. Uh Ron Fuckboy tweeted uh where'd you get this data
37:16from? I got him at 18.6%. I got it from Sumer Sports which I think both are obviously great sources. I think it was
37:22the difference was like uh NFL Pro, I guess, uses 20 yards downfield as a deep attempt where I believe Sumer Sports
37:27uses 15 yards downfield as a deep attempt. Kind of weird disparity, but regardless, he's throwing the ball deep a lot. Um I think that could work for a
37:35dude like Chris Bell, who's super talented, could have been a first round talent in the NFL draft, but the ACL tear obviously muddied some things for
37:41him. Malik Washington continues to be a very very very uh high floor player in this offense as well. So, I actually
37:48think both of them should be owned. Big waverwire week for the Dolph, man. Shout out Miami. Shout out South Beach. Shout
37:54out LeBron. Can't believe he's a [ __ ] Philadelphia 76er. Honestly, one of the grosser like grosser free agency signing sports moves in recent memory. This is
38:04what I got to do before every week. By the way, I have to open up a new tab with every single game and then ESPN's
38:10website is so [ __ ] annoying. Like, do you really need the the money from the programmatic [ __ ] ads that pop up
38:19about UBS in the middle of your website to just ruin the experience? I got to go through, wait for their dumbass ad to
38:25load, and then scroll down like [ __ ] four clicks.
38:30Unbelievable.
38:32Show some respect for Chris Bell. One time in your lives, ESPN.
38:42Stop. Um.
38:45Wow. Wait. Slump is quiet right now.
38:49He hasn't barked in like 10 15 minutes.
38:52He's crying his [ __ ] hard out when we started, though. That's like an hour.
38:55Like, bro, just take a nap. I understand if you're crying at night cuz like you're going to have to sleep for the
39:00next eight hours. I get that that makes you sad, but like I'm just trying to get you to nap for like one hour, an hour
39:07and a half. You know what I'm saying?
39:14Y'all really thought I didn't get a Nico Collins Kabome.
39:19That's crazy as hell for y'all. It's only a nine. It's not a 10, but I was trying to get some good cards from
39:26everyone that's uh on my fantasy team.
39:30Also, one other thing I want to say, we've been working with Arena Club um throughout. This is just a complete tangent. This is not a sponsored thing
39:38at all. We work with the Arena Club.
39:40It's one of those like slab pack companies that I'm sure you guys see everywhere. And you know, you buy a pack
39:44and you rip one pack and you get one card. And a lot of times we rip open the packs and like it'll be a $250 pack and
39:50whatever card we rip open ends up being worth like $170. And we get a lot of for that in our comments, which is
39:56like, you know, knew that was coming and that's totally fine. If I saw those ads, I'd be like, yo, you just lose money
40:01every single time. It's very important to note that like opening up sports cards is as much of a gamble as literally gambling is. I would say it
40:10might be for me I enjoy it more. I spend a lot of personal money on cards because I love the I to me that's so much more
40:18fun and entertaining than gambling. And I also love to have like a physical collection. Like I I really like having these things in my hands. I like having
40:25them as like decorations in my apartment, things like that. And I just like having the collections. Like it's fun for me. But it should without
40:31without a doubt 100% be noted like it is a form of gambling for sure. Like you should not be ripping packs if you don't
40:36have the money to spend, if you don't have control under like your senses of being able to uh limit yourself on these
40:44things. But more importantly, I also want you guys to know like if you rip boxes, like ripping, you know, boxes of
40:50cards, your return on investment is going to be much higher on slap packs.
40:54I'm not pushing for them, but it's actually so bad. Most people, almost 99% of people, if you start to get into the
40:59card game, they will tell you just buy singles. Just buy singles of things that you like. If you like specific cards,
41:05you like specific players. Without a doubt, the best investment you're ever going to have in terms of return on your money is just going to be going straight
41:11to the source, whether it's eBay or a card store, and just buying the cards you like. Anything else is a form of
41:16gambling where you're very likely going to lose money, and you're looking for a dopamine hit. And I'm perfectly fine admitting that. I enjoy spending money
41:24that I have to lose opening [ __ ] like this. I like opening up a box. I cost me $500 and I'm ripping packs and I'm
41:32getting [ __ ] dopamine, dopamine, dopamine, dopamine.
41:36And it's really bad because I know that it's basically going to be a $60 worth of cards in that [ __ ] box. But I will
41:42say just for all the [ __ ] that like this is not Arena Club by itself. This is all slab packs that are like becoming a huge
41:47industry in itself.
41:49The ROI is actually significantly better on slab packs than it is on actual hobby boxes because hobby boxes and and the
41:55sport and the hobby itself have gotten so expensive. It's like it's like StockX. It's like the shoe [ __ ] thing
42:01from two, five years ago during COVID where it's like every time a new shoe was released, a select few people got it
42:07and then they were able to mark it up by 5x because the demand was so [ __ ] high. That's kind of what's happening in
42:11cars right now, unfortunately. So, getting hobby boxes is some of the worst ROI in the game, and I'm going to continue to do it, but I'm just sending
42:20out a general PSA. Don't do it if you don't have the money. We also don't really care if you're like, "This is the
42:26worst ROI on an ad read ever." Like, we like doing it. So, just be responsible.
42:32All right? Be responsible. Like Brian Dable, show some responsibility one time for your team. Sloppiest game ever. The New York Giants beat the
42:39Titans 12 to7. We're here in New York.
42:41Obviously, we're based here. Weather was disgusting yesterday. So, definitely not about to throw out the performance cuz but like when you combine the weather of
42:50yesterday with the teams of yesterday, no one's going to be surprised at a 12-7 performance. Cam Ward 181 and a touchdown, another five yards
43:00per attempt. There was an injury to Taj Spears, ankle injury. I believe he was on the injury report last week with an
43:06ankle injury and then reinjured it this week. So, you know, keep an eye out if that's a low low ankle or a high ankle
43:13sprain. That could be bad. Could open up some snaps for Nick Singleton. So, if you're in a deeper league, 14 16, you
43:18want to get a little bit sharp here. We could see extra run for Nicholas Singleton, the rookie out of Penn State.
43:23If Taj Spears does miss time, obviously Tony Pard is a pretty desperate flex play at this point, as is anyone on the
43:29Tennessee Titans. For the Giants, yeah, not great for Jamus. Again, you know, don't want to read too much into it because of the weather, but hasn't
43:36looked good. Now, we have a pretty poor defense that they were going against, but don't want to like overemphasize anything based on this takeaway. Um, but
43:46yeah, Jamus just don't look that good, man. And they just traded for JJ McCarthy, which tells you like I, you know, they're they're pro they're
43:54probably going to turn to him at some point if Jamus keeps playing poorly. Um, you know, Jamus, he's got a lot going
44:02on. He's old. He's got a lot going on.
44:04He's [ __ ] you know, doing the World Cup. He's doing social media, you know, he's obviously locked into the NFL when
44:09he's on an NFL team, but he's got a lot of other things going on in his life.
44:12So, I don't know how focused he is on on being a great quarterback when the offseason is coming around. Um, it's
44:18unfortunate obviously with the Jackson Dart stuff, but yeah, I mean, if Jameus keeps playing like this, they're going to have trouble having any sort of
44:26success here. Uh, Brian Burns obviously tore his ACL as well. That was some bad news for the Giants. I mean, just a
44:32brutal run out for them this year.
44:36Terrible game for Malik, but good to see him kind of like come away unscathed.
44:39Cam Scatabo 23 touches over 100 yards from scrimmage or exactly 100 yards from scrimmage. So, good to see, but it is
44:46going to be a little bit tricky to figure out uh you know when the Giants are going to have good games based on
44:50how this is looking. It also does look like Naji Harris is kind of the handcuff here. Uh nothing for Singleary, Tyrone
44:57Tracy either. So, it was just those two involved. So, if you want to own the person behind Cam Scatabo, it does look
45:02like Naji Harris will be the dude to own. I don't think he's a terrible handcuff to have, but obviously kind of
45:07neutered a bit by just being in the Giants offense, unfortunately. Tough game for Isaiah likely, but again, I I still think it's a little bit early to
45:14go like all in on bad weather, Nor Easter, Jameus Winston sample size plus, you know, midame entrance versus the Rams. Very, very likely it ends up being
45:24bad, you know, and and he's just bad right now. But I I still think we got to temper expectations a bits. So we've got
45:30the Steelers versus the Bengals. Really good game here. Uh Steelers win 30 to 27. Joe Burrow has a great day. Uh how
45:36you doing? Uh has a great day. Jamar Chase, big day. T Higgins, big day. How you doing? Uh Chase Brown, pretty
45:44disappointing to be honest with you, but much better days ahead. Like again, you're you're on a team that's playing really well, that's scoring a lot of
45:49points, almost 3 and 0. Uh just you you want the running back in that offense.
45:53So no no overall concerns. Maybe he doesn't have the ceiling of a lot of the running backs that are just like, you
45:58know, bellcow, workh horses, goal line, all this, all that. Um, but Jason Tiggins are Chase and T. Higgins are just so good from so far out that uh,
46:09you know, a lot of their touchdowns just come from far away. Uh, on the flip side, we had our first game without Rico
46:14Dael and Jaylen Warren went [ __ ] nuclear. That was obvious. This is one of those backfields that anytime like the work consolidates, Jaylen Warren
46:20goes crazy. 17 for 127 on the ground, 3 for49 through the air. If I'm not mistaken, I didn't actually see the play
46:26on red zone, but I was reading about it.
46:28I believe he had like an 80yard run or catch called back on a DK Mechaf hold.
46:34So, he could have had like an alltime day here. Didn't get into the end zone, but still phenomenal day for your
46:39fantasy team. If Rico continues to miss time, like obviously Jaylen Warren's a smash super high-end RB2. Bengals off Bengals defense came down came back down
46:47to earth a little bit here. I know again like the small sample of weeks one and weeks two were like, "Oh, the Bengals
46:52defense is [ __ ] elite now because of Dexter Lawrence." They're definitely far improved for from what they were last year, but that does not mean they are a
46:59top 12 unit by any means. Anytime Aaron Rogers can drop 30 points on you, like let's get with the [ __ ] program here.
47:06Um, Rogers 292, three touchdowns. You actually looked pretty good early on in this game. Uh, hard to like get excited about anyone in this offense though
47:14besides Jaylen Warren right now. DK continues to be like relatively targeted. He did score a touchdown in this one, but like, you know, just so
47:21uninspiring with the passing offense even though they're throwing so many so many passes. Man, Rogers has got to be on pace for like 650 to 700 attempts
47:29this year. And with Mike McCarthy running the show, wouldn't be surprised if he does go above 600 here.
47:38Moving to the Commanders at Seattle. I mean th this game is crazy because the Commanders win obviously in one of the
47:43upsets like of the year 33 to31. Looking at the yardage totals, looking at the efficiency, looking at like basically everything like blindly you're like, "Oh, Sam
47:53Darnold goes for 380 and four touchdowns. Of course, the Seahawks win.
47:57Just unbelievably like welltimed mistakes going in favor of the Commanders." Darnold uh you know looked a little shaky at some points but ended
48:07up with a massive fantasy day. I want to say he was the QB1 on the week. JSN is literally [ __ ] unstoppable and
48:14there's no one else that you really want to be starting in this offense. Jaren Price like obviously looks the best here. Unfortunately, he fumbles away a
48:22ball early on and then Emanuel Wilson ends up getting nine carries, but no one can do anything in that backfield in
48:27this one. Sunonny Styles is a [ __ ] stud for the Commanders, man. That dude is so good at linebacker. Uh let's see
48:33the breakdown for the Seattle backfield here. 36% for Helani, 38% for Emanuel Wilson, and 27% for Jadarian Price. Just just hate to see it in a match up that
48:44was supposed to be one of the soft spots on the schedule here for him. Really going to be hard to trust him going
48:48forward as anything more than uh pretty shaky flex. I I don't want to say they're going to move away from him like
48:54to to a too high of a degree because you can't just like lose confidence in your first round pick. Good to see he was
49:00healthy obviously coming off of the chest shoulder thing from last week but not a lot going on in the Seattle backfield. Um haven't heard anything
49:09great for Zack Charbanet yet. Like they're not like oh he's returning to practice anytime soon. He's obviously on the IR so he has to miss at least one
49:14more game. We'll have to see when they open up the practice window for him. But you know he's going to return sooner
49:18rather than later and I would be shocked if he's not at least having like the Emanuel Wilson role here. So, you know,
49:24Jadarian Price's upside swing, I think, was the fact that he would have this backfield pretty much to himself for the first like sixish weeks. And if he was
49:31good enough with that first round price tag to be able to run away with the job, you have a really high upside smash hit
49:38on an offense that's putting up a lot of points, moving it with consistency, um, and a very talented, explosive guy.
49:44Unfortunately, like he's kind of done the opposite. And outside of like individual runs where he looks great kind of exploding to the outside, we're
49:51not really seeing it from Price. So going to be honest it he's looking more like obviously we've got the entire season but like you can project a lot of
49:59what's going to happen in terms of roles and in terms of players coming back and things like that. He's definitely more
50:05on the side of like you know bad pick in the sixth round right now than getting excited for him. Washington Mariota 5.9
50:13yards per attempt but does walk away with three touchdowns here. He left the game briefly but ended up returning. JCM ended up with 20 touches in this one,
50:20but does absolutely nothing with them. I mean, Terry McLaren, I I think I had him at like wide receiver, 40 [ __ ] five
50:27in my rankings. You had Mariota, you had the Seattle Seahawks secondary. Ends up having a massive day. Six for 77 and a
50:33touchdown. No one else was usable.
50:35Rashad White hurt his shoulder.
50:37Something to keep a very close eye on if you were a JCM owner, which would obviously consolidate for the most part
50:43most of the touches. Kron Allen will probably be a little bit involved here, but if Rashad Dwight's shoulder injury is anything significant, uh, would shake
50:50up the backfield a bit. And we have heard good news on Jaden Daniels, which was pretty much the read I had early on.
50:57If you've been listening to my live streams, oh, should also [ __ ] mention, never mind. Totally slipped my mind. Austin Eckler signed with the
51:02Commanders. That was done by me. Austin Eckler signed with the Commanders. If you remember, he was on the Commanders early last year uh, towards Achilles.
51:09So, he's old. Has not looked good. And then you add on a torn Achilles. Do I think they trust him and do I think he
51:16plays a little bit if Rashad White is hurt? And that should also be noted like Rashad White got hurt and they basically
51:22signed him the very next morning. So that does point towards more of an ominous outlook for a uh for Rashad White. But let me see if we can get
51:29anything up to date on the Rashad White injury.
51:49Um, I don't know. We haven't really had any any updates on his injury like he he returned Rashad
52:00White left returned to the game then to the locker room. I think it's easy to go put one and one together where it's like
52:07oh the Eckler signing was relative to Rashad White. Jeremy McNichols is also out or hurt with a quad injury. So it
52:13might just be a depth signing where it's like all right we got two guys that we're not sure are going to be ready to
52:17go next week sort of thing. So I don't know. I I don't want to rush to conclusions on Rashad White because we
52:21don't have the full picture at hand right now. Uh, but with Jaden Daniels, it does sound like he could be back
52:26within the next, you know, two weeks, I want to say. Uh, he did not opt for surgery. They didn't put him on the IR.
52:33So, you know, definitely better news than what we maybe assumed from like the replays of the injury when it originally happened. Next up, the Jaguars 35 to6
52:44to the New England Patriots. And I don't know if there's a team that's looked worse than the Patriots this year. I mean, the Dolphins
52:51exist, unfortunately, so probably not.
52:53But um yeah, I mean it's as bad as it gets right now. It's crazy cuz like all all the uh Drake the Schedule May memes
53:01were like really really uh aggressive and and Pat's fans really fought against that. But I mean, holy [ __ ] he looks
53:10horrendous. The offense is just so non-exlosive, unexlosive, inexplosive, slothlike, glue like, tortoise-like. Um,
53:21it's just really bad in New England, man. 199 passing yards for Drake May, two interceptions. He also fumbles the ball twice, loses one of them. You know,
53:31I I I showed you guys the tweet before.
53:33He's literally on pace for six passing touchdowns and 34 interceptions this year. Won't end that way. And he was amazing last year. But the sophomore
53:42slump looks legit. They have a tough schedule. We saw that tough schedule be too much for him in the playoffs. And
53:48it's looking like the same thing going into this year. Brighter days ahead, but I don't know how much further ahead they
53:55are. They might be very far ahead. They might be AJ Brown returning in three weeks plus another two or three weeks
54:00after that. Of course, we do need to acknowledge the fact that his number one weapon AJ Brown went down is that the
54:07entire the entire difference maker for the team. This is about the receiving core he had last year plus Romeo Dobs.
54:12So, it's like, yeah, of course you project him to be a lot better with a guy like AJ Brown, but I also am like,
54:19are we going to get full go AJ Brown when he comes back? Like, pretty significant injury. He's going to miss a
54:24lot of time. Does he lack explosiveness when he comes back? So, yeah, Drake May, uh, I don't know if people are still
54:29questioning this, but in one quarterback leagues, you without a doubt don't need to start him and probably don't need to own him at this point. Uh, backfield
54:36split, better days ahead for them, but it was pretty gross. Uh it was it eight for 23 for Trayvon, seven for 22 for
54:42Randre Stevenson. Just could not get anything going. The Jags run defense is super super good though. Let's see the actual split there. Raandre 53% of the
54:51snaps, 35% to Trayvon Henderson. It's always funny because Raandre always ends up playing the [ __ ] pass catching role here, dude. Like you just want that
54:58to be Trayvon and it doesn't feel like it's ever going to be.
55:02Don't [ __ ] show me this ad, bro.
55:04Fantasy Life's got this [ __ ] crate here for their dog and all the dogs are sitting there sleeping [ __ ] happy.
55:09That's fake.
55:11I'm gonna Anyone have the better [ __ ] Business Bureau email? I'm going to report this [ __ ] because that's [ __ ]
55:17not real or true at all. What the [ __ ] Ain't no way people's dogs are chilling like that.
55:29You [ __ ] frauds.
55:31Um, oh yeah, for people do ask what website this is. I look at by the way, this is fantasylife.com. It is their
55:37utilization report chart. It is behind a payw wall though. [snorts] Um, what else? What else are we talking about here? Any other injuries? Don't
55:47think so. Don't think so. Yeah, just sloppy here. You're not you're not really starting anyone in the New England offense right now. Jacksonville,
55:53good day for Trevor. Could have been a lot better if he didn't slide like a tweaker at the one yard line. He
55:58let Bashaw Tuton get in there 15 for 73 and a touchdown for Tuton. Two catches, 17 yards. Chris Rodriguez, eight for 37
56:04and a touchdown. Another blowout for Jacksonville here. So, a little bit tough to talk about the game script, but obviously Toutin's the one there. So,
56:11again, you know, kind of reiterating what I said in the trade target video on Friday. I I just think the trajectory
56:17for Toutin's great. I just think uh you know, you're you're you're getting the RB1 in an offense that's really really good with a really really good play
56:24caller. uh receivers. Jacobe Myers is another one I put at the end of the trade targets video. I just said he's
56:29running all the routes. He's a good receiver. He's going to have really good days with Trevor Lawrence. You know, it doesn't always run out this smoothly,
56:35but case in point, eight targets, led the team. Seven catches, 64 yards, and a touchdown. He's just going to be a good
56:41part of this offense. Parker Washington, you know, not a great box scoreboard day, but like watching him some of the the one touchdown he got called
56:47back on. Um was it a penalty? I can't remember if it was a penalty or if he was out of bound. I think it was a
56:52penalty, got called back on, and then the very next play ended up scoring a sick touchdown right after that. But the
56:57play he made was just the dude's unbelievable, man. He is like every bit of the hype from this offseason just came to fruition there. Um, also should
57:05be pointed out like BTJ, man, he is getting his routes cut significantly here. Um, down to 47% of the routes in
57:14this one. 91% for Jacobe, 94% for Parker Washington. Uh maybe that was a game plan thing where like, hey, we're going
57:21to run more two tight end or three tight end sets in this one against the Patriots. Something we see on film, but
57:26I mean, yeah, BTJ was an all-time bad pick this year in fantasy for those y'all that took him.
57:32Niners and Cardinals. Jacobe 282 touchdowns. Jeremiah Love, this is definitely I mean, I guess there's a few talking points here, but uh Jeremiah
57:40Love, finally saw him have like a takeover game here. 21 carries, 90 yards, catches, five passes, only 19 yards on that, but he does score a
57:48touchdown. So, you're seeing 26 touches to Tyler Algier's two carries and four catches. That was the first real glimpse we've got at like Jeremiah Love being
57:57the dude. And he did it against the 49ers defense, which is starting to get even more banged up here without Nick
58:02Bosa here. Wrong team. Uh, Red Cardinals. 63% of the snaps for Jeremiah Love, 78% of the rush attempts. And I think I think this was the sentiment for
58:12everybody. Like it it didn't take a brain surgeon to figure out, oh, Jeremiah Love's probably going to get eased into seeing a bigger role. They
58:18signed Tyler Alier for real money. He's coming off a high ankle sprain. Do I think the split's going to be 26 touches
58:23to six touches every week? No, I don't.
58:26Um, but it's clear there's a bit of a changing of a guard here. So, I I think it'll be like 6040 6337
58:34going forward in favor of Jeremiah Love.
58:36And I would be surprised if that doesn't continue to, you know, get wider and wider as the season progresses here.
58:43They're using Tyler Alier in the long down and distance and two-minute drill snaps, which is just [ __ ] one of the
58:49top five dumbest things I've seen all week. But yeah, Jeremiah Love, great to see that like big game from him. This
58:56was a Michael Wilson game from last year basically when Marv was out except Marv's in. So him and BTJ ended up being
59:01two of the worst [ __ ] picks in fantasy. Um, you know, again, not always right, but definitely two guys we were
59:07fading coming into this year given the the fake narratives uh this summer. But Michael Wilson, great day. Trey McBride continues to get it done. Brock Pery's
59:15playing [ __ ] lights out, continues to be awesome. CMAC, um, you know, 120, 115 from scrimmage, almost 20 touches, gets
59:24into the end zone. Not scoring the high ceiling games that he's had so far um, from last year, but he's fine. and even
59:31more injuries to this team with Mike Evans. That's another one that's a little bit of a of a tough read right
59:38now. We don't have exact word on it. He obviously takes a very very significant shot to like the midsection, whether or
59:44not it is like rib cartilage or a fractured rib. Uh let me see if we can get an upto-date status on him right
59:51now.
59:56Nah, nothing really. Um ribs, oblique.
59:59So, this could be a muscle strain, um, which is significantly painful from what I understand. You can have a slight fracture in the rib and still play
60:08through. We saw that with Lad Maconi.
60:10Either way, I think he's going to be a bit limited going forward. Uh, some sort of MRI or, you know, a look a little bit
60:15deeper could end up being something more significant. So, the range of outcomes on Mike Evans's injury is is very wide right now. We don't have anything super
60:23concrete. If I'm a Mike Evans owner, I am definitely preparing to not have him for at least one week.
60:29um and could obviously be much much longer than that. George KD is being forced into a big role, but he's looking
60:35better and better by the week. Six for 82 and two touchdowns without Mike Evans, you know, without Demarcus Robinson, without all these players,
60:42like he's just going to have a big role in this offense. And I expect Christian McCaffrey to continue to see a ton of
60:46targets as well. We had Jordan Watkins fill in two catches, 60 yards. Debo Samuel had a [ __ ] lateral from um
60:54what the [ __ ] Um uh sorry, I just got an email that
61:08totally threw me off. Debo caught a lateral for Mike Evan. Like Mike Evans caught the ball, lateral it to Debo. He
61:14ran for 80 yards. So he literally finished with zero catches, 80 yards and a touchdown. Unbelievable. Um but yeah, another injury to their receiver group,
61:22which is just [ __ ] insane, dude.
61:26All right. Uh, Minnesota versus Tampa Bay. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, sloppy one in this one. Aaron Jones operates as the workhorse. Kyler Murray's first game
61:34back does not look great. Just don't think he's a great NFL quarterback. I don't know how many [ __ ] years in a
61:39row we need to see it. Uh, biggest talking point here though is Justin Jefferson. Of course, he comes down with an ankle injury. Another one where I'm
61:44like seeing various reports of could be kind of minor, could be a high ankle sprain. I think if what I'm reading for
61:51the situation is I would probably I know he went back into the game, but you got to understand like there's so much
61:58adrenaline during these games. Anyone who's an athlete, anyone who's played in sporting events or any sort of like athletic competition, if you hurt
62:05yourself and it's not like a severe like fracture or severe tear or severe injury, a lot of the times the adrenaline will just overtake what the
62:12actual injury is. It'll hurt initially and then like 5 10 minutes later you'll feel a little bit better and you could
62:18play on it because of the adrenaline, but then the next day the swelling starts. So like you you just can't go
62:23based off of him going back into the game.
62:26Uh he avoided a serious injury and has a chance to play Sunday. That actually just came out 26 seconds ago. Shout out.
62:33Um so he has a chance to play Sunday. I I you know I would say that's probably 50/50. Um so if you if you got
62:38Jefferson, obviously have a contingency plan if you do. But obviously good news to know that he um imaging was good today. He avoided anything longterm and
62:48is there there is a chance that he plays on Sunday. If he's out, you know, I think that probably consolidates a lot
62:53of the targets to Jordan Addison and TJ Hawinson. Not that I really want to be attached to this um receiving group.
63:00Another quarterback with an injury, Baker Mayfield. He hurts his thumb at the end of the game on the very last play. He will be out. They said they
63:10like super specific. He's out three weeks, whatever. Um, all you need to know is he's out multiple weeks and Jaylen Daniels, an undrafted free agent
63:18rookie out of Kansas, will be the starting quarterback for them. He beat out Jake Browning in the preseason.
63:26Yeah, I don't know about this one, man.
63:27Uh, don't feel great about anything in this offense. Uh, any of the pass catchers. Godwin sucks because you drafted Godwin. Uh, it sucked so far.
63:38And the one thing that would have been good was he had like an 80 yard touchdown called back yesterday on a
63:43holding call. Uh which is really unfortunate because that would have been like the one game or the one play you're like thank god like you know I didn't
63:49want to play him maybe come through for me one time something lucky here and it got taken away. So uh with Jaylen
63:56Daniels under center I'm not going to sit here and lie to you and act like I have a prospect write up on Jaylen
64:00Daniels. I don't know much about him.
64:02someone in the comments wants to give us a little write up or an outlook on the mans, happy to uh happy to open my ears
64:08and listen to it, but I just cannot imagine we are super excited about what this offense is going to look like. It
64:12was already shitty with Baker Mayfield and it looks like it's going to get shittier. So, you know, I'll start Bucky as probably like a low-end RB2. Um Bua
64:21is definitely going to be dangerously flirting with that like shaky flex category come Thursday in that wide receiver rankings video, though. So,
64:27make sure you're subscribed to the channel if you want to see game-by-ame rankings on Wednesday and Thursday for running backs and wide receivers. All
64:36right, we've got the Brazil game. The Dallas Cowboys lose in an unbelievable fashion to the Ravens 34-31. That was a ridiculous ending, but Lamar
64:45gets it done. Derrick Henry gets it done. Uh Derrick Henry could actually be going for like four touchdowns a game.
64:51He just he there's just sometimes he can't convert on the [ __ ] goal line.
64:54They they do have some real injuries on their offensive line, though. They lost their center and then they lost their backup center in this game. Um, so could
65:01definitely be attributed to why they might be struggling on some of the short yardage stuff. Regardless though, like we're not about to complain about
65:07Derrick Henry averaging 25 [ __ ] points per game. Oh, just thought of it. One hour and five minutes later, I was talking about the
65:15group of players in the history of fantasy who have gone for over 400 fantasy points and it's a list of like
65:2110 skill players ever with a singular season. Right now there are like five players pacing to hit that. Um you have
65:30Josh Allen, you have Jackson Smith and Jigba who right now would be pacing out for the single greatest fantasy season of all time and would demolish it if Jir
65:38Gibbs was not also pacing out for the single greatest fantasy season of all time. He would finish like seven points below JSN if they both continued this
65:45pace. But Bejian Robinson, Kenneth Walker, and Derk Henry are all averaging more than 25 fantasy points per game and would all finish comfortably over the
65:56400 fantasy point per game mark, which is, you know, why you draft a dude like Derrick Henry. Even if he's slowed down
66:01a little bit, even if he's having trouble converting, even if the offensive line isn't strong, you're still just [ __ ] attaching yourself to
66:08the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson.
66:10Like, that is fantasy football at its simplest form that helps you not overthink a lot of things. just get players attached to these offenses. It's
66:18the same thing with Javvante Williams on the other side. 19 carries, 98 yards, a touchdown. People are like, "Javante stinks after last week." This is what
66:26happens. You can't go off of one game yard per carry sample sizes. It's like the dumbest [ __ ] thing in fantasy
66:31football. He's the workhorse in the Dallas Cowboys offense that scores 30 points a game. He's going to score a touchdown at minimum every other week
66:39and give you games where he scores two touchdowns. Okay. Derrick Henry, Javonte Williams, me. [snorts] Um, Zay Flowers did end up playing in
66:47this game. I was pretty surprised.
66:49Very limited on snaps though. Still ended up going five for 84 through the air. I want to say he played on like
66:56less than half of their plays. Okay. 64% of the routes he ran. Um, was probably on the field for I'm I'm sure on running
67:03plays he was not on the field. So, he probably played around 40% of the snaps if I had to guess. But like, good god, I
67:10hope this guy can get healthy and get out on the field next week. He looked good though. He looked great. Um had
67:14that number and I also think he had an ender round or a rush for 20 yards.
67:18Yeah. So like he looked every bit of the Z Flowers. We just need him to ramp back up to that role and he's going to be
67:24such a good piece uh of fantasy upside in this offense. Yeah. Flip side talked about Javvante Lamb Pickins par for the
67:32course.
67:35Let us move to the Raiders versus the Saints. I got to wrap up soon. Fat boy out there starting to cry again. Uh
67:42Raiders versus Saints. 35-27.
67:44The Raiders go to 3 and 0. Man, Kirk Cousins looks pretty good. Going to keep Fernando Mendoz on the bench for a
67:49little bit longer. Ashen Genty came in with a little bit of a like an ankle bang up. They looked at last
67:54week. He ended up leaving this game for a second with it. They were looking at him on the side, came back in the game,
67:58so it doesn't seem like it's anything concerning, I guess. But just doesn't look very explosive right now. And Mike Washington Jr. looks him makes him look
68:05even less explosive with how explosive he is. Not going to change anything in the pecking order, but Michael Washington needs to be owned if you're a
68:11Genty owner or he just needs to be owned off the waiverwire if he is available to you. Brock Bowers first game back goes
68:17nuts. So, 10 for 116 and a touchdown on 13 targets. Doesn't even look like he was hurt out there. So, if
68:22you got Brock Bowers, full steam ahead going forward. Shuck on the other side.
68:26Another four [ __ ] touchdowns, 42 pass attempts. Unbelievable.
68:30L another huge game. Jawan Johnson looks great. Devon Vle kind of disappointing story of the backfield here though is Travis Tien's injury. It looked like
68:38they were finally going to give him like all right we're going to give you 15 to 20 touches ends up on an outside play
68:43pulls up with a hamstring injury. This is concerning because he was limited all week practice with a hamstring injury.
68:49Was it to the same hamstring? I don't know. I would without a doubt project him to miss multiple weeks with this
68:54hamstring strain. However, he's my RB2 and your idiot league mates. I will be making other plans. Uh, I think Alvin Kamara and Kendra Miller are both
69:01pickupable in this offense because they run so many plays. Another 70 in this one. Um, yeah, I don't really feel super
69:09confident in either one of them. I think tomorrow will catch a decent amount of passes. Kendrick Miller will probably be more of a carry guy and closer to the
69:15goal line, but I'm not confident that I have a read on who's going to be on the goal line every single time down there.
69:21So, like pick upable Kendra Miller, Alvin Kamara playable yet? Not exactly sure. And then we move to Sunday Night Football. Broncos in a thriller 3226
69:32here. Move to 2-1. Make the Rams 1-2.
69:35Stafford throws for 390 and two. Kairen does his thing. Blake Horm kind of fading into insignificance.
69:40Unfortunately, Kairen just looks great, man. Uh 88 on the ground, 70 through the air. Another game without Puka Nua. Of course, there were a couple injuries. So
69:48Puka Puka is a tough one to get a read on right now. They're kind of all over the place. I think they might push him
69:53to play next week, which I feel like would not be great process for them. Uh there's a chance he could play, get
69:58through it, but then not feel right and then need surgery. So, I think the range of outcomes with Puka and his injury
70:02right now very very wide. If you're trading for him, obviously you're taking a gamble. You're taking on a ton of risk
70:08with obvious upside. But there is a chance that you get him a week later, he needs to get surgery, and he's out for
70:14like eight weeks. Uh Devonte Adams, I mean, holy [ __ ] Dude was [ __ ] routing up Patrick Certan, the best
70:20quarterback in the league. Monte Adams clearly still got it going on, man.
70:23Another 13 targets, seven for 137.
70:26Locked in. What? This was one where I was like, I'm a little skeptical about how much attention he's going to get,
70:30especially from Patrick Certan and this Broncos defense. Like, didn't [ __ ] matter. Adams is Hammerstein. If Puka is out, Devonte Adams, I don't like he has
70:38to be a top five wide receiver in fantasy week in and week out. Canado Mumfield filled in respectably. Eight targets, four catches, 93 yards, and a
70:46touchdown. He ain't going in my lineup.
70:48Tyler Higby, I think, is worth noting, having a really big day here. 11 targets, eight catches, 62 yards, and a touchdown. Mainly because Terence
70:55Ferguson got hurt. So, he injured his ankle and then left and then came back in and then reinjured it. Uh, I don't
71:00know that we have a significant update on it now. But, if he does miss time, we know how involved the tight ends are in
71:05this offense. And it does look like Higgby would be the next guy up. Though, I can't say with confidence that I'm
71:10like, "Oh, Higgby is going to be the guy." Because next week we could see Higgby, Davis Allen, Kobe Parkinson all run 30% of the route. So Ferguson was
71:17definitely the guy looked like he was going to be, you know, a stud in fantasy while Puka was out. Unfortunately, we
71:22don't really get that read. On the flip side, Bo Knicks and this offense just continues to look pretty disappointing.
71:28Dobbins 17 for 49, useless yards, catches a pass for four yards. RJ Harvey very involved in the receiving game. Six catches for 41, but does nothing on the
71:36ground. Those are their two archetypes.
71:37Dobbins gets a lot of useless carries.
71:39RJ Harvey gets a lot of useless catches.
71:41Uh Jaylen Wadd now two times in three games shows his floor.
71:46That's who he is as a player, man. He is a big-time player sometimes and a small time player a lot of times. So, yeah, I
71:53I don't feel confident really. Honestly, I don't really feel confident. I'll I'll continue to start Wadd in my lineup because I think the ceiling games are so
72:01big and I think RJ Harvey's definitely an interesting flex play, especially in games where like, you know, there's a high overunder total. But outside of
72:08that, I don't know how you can have confidence in really anyone on the Broncos offense for the time being.
72:14All right, we're going to wrap up right there. Uh, thank you guys for hanging out today. We've got 1,200 people in the
72:18stream, but only 131 likes. Feels feels a little bit personal, but I won't take it personally. All right. Um, like I
72:25said, if you guys want to come hang out tonight during Monday Night Football, we will be running a live stream Sweating
72:30Joe and Moe's matchup on the Your Idiot League mates YouTube channel. That will kick off around, I think, 800 PM Eastern
72:36timeish. So, go subscribe to that channel. Subscribe to this channel if you are new here. We do this every single Monday. Uh Tuesday we will have
72:42the waiverwire video. We'll be having someone else do that for the first time.
72:46So you guys know Michael, he's going to take it over. Um I just need a little bit of assistance. But the waiverwire
72:51rankings will be up on the site um as usual with fab suggestions rankings, all that kind of stuff for fantasy members.
72:58Uh and then I will still be doing my wide receiver running back rankings every Thursday, every Friday. Um and that's it. All right. So thank you guys
73:04for hanging out. Appreciate y'all. And I will see you uh on Wednesday. Smoochis.
